Inspired By Bernard Palissy (Looking Forward)

Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris (Le Corbusier)

Architect, Urban Planner

Palissy's profound reverence for natural forms, his meticulous observation of the environment, and his artisanal ethic of expressing material honesty conceptually prefigured Le Corbusier's later interest in raw materials, 'brutalism,' and the integration of art with nature.
